I think that putting this frame together was a whole lot less hassle than putting mecanums on the KOP drivetrains. Maybe there are already holes on that frame for mounting a motor and gearbox on each wheel. Even if it did we didn't have those gearboxes in our stock. We had plenty of planetary gearboxes and mounts for those gearboxes to make it fairly simple to build.
